Florence Pugh Stars in Yungblud's Emotional Video for New Single ‘Zombie': Watch
Yungblud has enlisted Florence Pugh for an emotional music video for new single 'Zombie.' The emotional ballad will feature on his upcoming fourth studio albums, Idols, out June 20. Pugh, who current stars in Marvel's Thunderbolts has form for appearing in music videos. In 2023, she played the leading role in rising British indie star Rachel Chinouriri's video for her single 'Never Need Me.'

'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before,' he said. 'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.' The artist added, 'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f—ing scary.' The song will feature on the British rocker's upcoming double album Idols, which will be released in two parts. The first half will drop on June 20, a day before his headline set at his own festival Bludfest in Milton Keynes, England. Chase Atlantic, Rachel Chinouriri and Denzel Curry all feature on the lineup. Harrison kicked off the Idols era back in March with the nine-minute LP opener 'Hello Heaven, Hello' showcasing his intent. In an accompanying press release, he said of the song: 'It's a journey of self-reclamation, a goodbye to the past and how you may have known or perceived me before, and a hello to the future and where I'm going. It sets the precedent for what this album is.' His past two albums under the Yungblud moniker — Weird! (2020) and Yungblud (2022) — both reached No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart.

Florence Pugh flashes her toned midriff in a navy pinstripe co-ord before posing with Will Poulter at bash celebrating Coach's creative director
Florence Pugh looked on fine form as she flashed her abs in a navy pinstripe co-ord while at a bash celebrating Coach's creative director Stuart Vevers in London on Thursday. The actress, 29, cut a cool figure as she posed alongside her former Midsommar co-star Will Poulter at the cocktail party honouring Stewart's recent OBE award. Florence showcased her figure in a crop top which was worn with matching trousers and a longline jacket, which she paired with a black Coach handbag. She boosted her height with a par of nude sandals while adding a touch of bling with a delicate gold body chain. Florence certainly seemed in the party spirit as she joined Will, 32, in posing alongside fellow actress Yasmin Finney, 21. While the star then snapped a photo with man of the moment Stewart amid his huge honour. The bash also saw the Oppenheimer star strike a pose alongside Bel Priestley, Maxim Magnus and Yasmin. Florence's outing comes after she and Yungblud were spotted pouring pints together in London last month as they celebrated the singer's recent release Zombie. The film star appeared in happy spirits as she was seen pouring a beer behind The Devonshire bar in Piccadilly. She can be seen passing a punter the drink while Yungblud looked impressed as he had his arms swung in the air. The pair were celebrating the recent release together as Florence starred in the artist's music video. Days previously, Yungblud teased a preview on social media, revealing that the video will star the Academy Award-nominated actress. In April, Yungblud also showed his support for Florence as he attended the European premiere of Marvel's Thunderbolts. Zombie is the third single from Yungblud's forthcoming album, Idols which was released on June 20. Speaking about the track, he said: 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. 'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. 'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f***ing scary.'

Rock star marks new album with appearance from special guest
Less than 24 hours after dropping his fourth album, musician Yungblud took to the stage to headline his second annual Bludfest music festival — and the singer brought out a very special guest to help him celebrate. The English rock star, real name Dominic Harrison, dropped his latest release Idols on Friday, with the album currently on track to be his third Number 1. The singer took to the headliner's stage on Saturday night to debut his new releases as well as sing some of his fan favourites. As his set drew to a close, the Cotton Candy singer revealed he had a surprise for the crowd. He teased the audience that he likes to perform with an 'idol' each year at the show. After all, performing an album named Idols wouldn't be complete without a cameo from an idol – and they don't get much bigger than Billy Idol. Fans were shocked when the Dancing with Myself singer joined Yungblud on the main stage to perform together. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

'My jaw was dropped for the whole song and announcement,' commented one fan. 'I've said it before and I'll say it again: Dom is this generation's Billy,' another said. Following the performance, Yungblud told fans he would 'remember this night forever'. Bludfest is an annual music and arts festival founded by Yungblud in 2024. It was created as an affordable alternative to other festivals. Performers at the two-day Milton Keynes event included Denzel Curry, Blackbear, and Australia's very own Chase Atlantic and Peach PRC.

Florence Pugh Looks for the Light in Yungblud's Video for ‘Zombie'
Yungblud has shared a music video for his song 'Zombie,' which stars Florence Pugh. The video, directed by Charlie Sarsfield, sees the Thunderbolts actress embodying a doctor in the British NHS as she helps patients. She's steadfast at work, but breaks down at home, with the video showcasing her with a pair of angel's wings. 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before,' Yungblud explained in a statement. 'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's fucking scary.' More from Rolling Stone Yungblud's Guide to Good Emotions: Lady Gaga, Florence Pugh, Rogue Bartending, and More Yungblud Will Interrogate Hero Worship on New Album 'Idols,' Then See It in Action on Tour 'Thunderbolts*' Asks: Who Wants the Off-Brand Avengers? The musician recently spoke to Rolling Stone about his admiration for Pugh. 'Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time,' he said. 'I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.' When Yungblud wrote 'Zombie,' he envisioned having someone like Pugh as its visual lead. 'The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British,' he told Rolling Stone. 'I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she's just a legend. You can tell, man. She's just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking shit.' 'Zombie' appears on Yungblud's forthcoming double album, Idols, out June 20. So far he has shared several singles off the LP, including 'Lovesick Lullaby' and 'Hello Heaven, Hello.' The musician explained the concept behind the 13-track project by saying, 'We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalize everything; our cage walls build up. We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we've even had our breakfast.' In August, Yungblud will take Idols on tour across North America. The run of shows will begin on Aug. 23 in Los Angeles and wrap on Sept. 21 in Toronto. Additional stops are scheduled in San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston, and more. General sale begins Friday, May 9 at 9 a.m. local.
